The Turning of the Light -Gong Journey with Vicky Warner & Bryony Ryba
A 2‑Hour Immersive Sound Experience for the June Solstice
Join us for a deeply restorative and expansive two‑hour gong journey held in honour of the Summer Solstice — a powerful turning point in the year when light reaches its peak and nature invites us into fullness, clarity, and renewal.
This special session is co‑facilitated by Vicky Warner (Girl With a Gong) and Bryony Ryba (Soul Frequency), weaving together their unique approaches to sound healing to create a rich, layered, and transformative sonic landscape.
What to Expect:
This extended gong immersion offers you the rare opportunity to drop into a longer, more spacious journey — allowing the vibrations to work through the body, mind, and energy system with depth and subtlety.
The session will include:
A gentle arrival and grounding practice to settle your nervous system and prepare your body for rest
A guided intention-setting moment aligned with the Solstice themes of illumination, expansion, and inner clarity
A long, continuous gong journey played collaboratively by Vicky and Bryony, blending their styles to create waves of resonance, texture, and spaciousness
A soft return and integration period to help you land, reflect, and reorient before re-entering your day
ending with light refreshments down stairs to take away with you.
Why the Solstice?
The Summer Solstice marks a threshold — a moment of heightened energy, brightness, and possibility. It is traditionally a time to:
Honour the light within and around us
Release what has become heavy or stagnant
Invite clarity, vitality, and renewed direction
Connect with community in shared ritual and presence
Sound work during this time can feel particularly potent, offering insight, clearing, and a sense of being gently realigned with your own inner rhythm.
Who This Session Is For:
This journey is suitable for anyone seeking:
Deep rest and nervous system nourishment
A meaningful way to honour the Solstice
A spacious, immersive sound experience
Subtle energetic or emotional clearing
A moment of pause, reflection, and reconnection
No previous experience with gong baths is required — simply come as you are and wear comfortable clothing.
Duration: 2 hours which includes light refreshments at the end.
Facilitators: Vicky Warner (Girl With a Gong) & Bryony Ryba (Soul Frequency)
What to Bring: A yoga mat, blanket, pillow, eye mask, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable lying down for an extended period
A Note on Care:
Gong baths can be deeply nourishing, and they may also bring awareness to emotional or energetic layers beneath the surface. Please come with self-awareness and honour your own boundaries throughout the session. This work is intended to complement — not replace — medical, psychological, or therapeutic care.
Contraindications (Please Read)
Gong baths are generally safe, but may not be suitable for everyone. Please avoid attending if you have sound‑induced epilepsy. Use caution or seek advice if you are pregnant, have severe mental health conditions, experience vertigo, have recent surgery, or have sensitivity to loud sound or vibration. If unsure, please check with a healthcare professional before booking.
